vim without xterm_clipboard

Kirodema · 2010-09-14 17:24:36

Hi,

I saw that the vim from /extra doesnt have an xterm_clipboard support. Is there a reason to it and if not, how can I enable it?

db@kirodema ~ $ vim --version | grep clipboard
-clientserver -clipboard +cmdline_compl +cmdline_hist +cmdline_info +comments 
 -xterm_clipboard -xterm_save

Did you check gvim?
There has been quite a few issues wrt to vim packages - how do we divide them up: vi - vim - gvim or some other way. Maybe vim doesn't have any X-related options.

perfect, thank you. Now I can finally use the system-clipboard .

You can compile vim using ABS. If you modify PKGBUILD from
--with-x=no
to
--with-x=yes
You'll get the system clipboard in vim.

Thanks for your help, this really helps me. Making use of vim term and tmux is a lot more beautiful than using gvim

Since then, I found a simpler solution : Install gvim instead of vim. Additionally to gvim, that you can ignore, you will get a regular vim with xclipboard support...

I just use the same way. But with the minimalism philosophy in mind, I still want to install only vim instead of gvim which I don't use
